Are you saying it is sexist not to enjoy, like or have any interest in woman's basketball?

Peace

Not at all. And I will freely talk about the physical differences between the two physiques of men and women athletes and their respective sports. I was referring to the spellings and slight under ahnded jokes. Which you are all free to do, I'm just deciding to with hold my own opinion on this matter.

As someone who has witnessed the horror of b;atant sexiam, I can tell you it is neither b;atant, nor sexiam.

OK. Now you have my attention. Go on ...

(I know. I'm being juvenile. But I've got today off from work, and I'm going to enjoy it. You'll only have to deal with me for a few more hours. My kids, and their spouses/future spouses, will be coming over soon, we'll go to early mass tonight, go out for some Chinese food, and take in a movie, probably True Grit. Except for the going to mass part, my Jewish friends sometimes think I'm Jewish)

This is perhaps the most passive aggressive thing I've seen on this board.

You obviously want to share and you want attention, so share away. If you're going to accuse us of sexism for this discussion, please do it and move on. Usually such an accusation would be accompanied by a quote of an actual post.

If you're referring to JR's spelling "errors," I'm sure you recognize that he's not the one who came up with that particular mispelling.

I certainly hope that everyone notes what Wikipedia said about us forward-thinking, caring and tolerant individuals who use the term "wimmen". It states that: "Writers who use the alternate spellings see them as as an expression of female independance and a repudiation of traditions that defines females by a reference to a male."

I also certainly hope that any wimmen who may have made the past mistake of taking me to task for supposedly exhibiting anti-wimmen behavior while I was actually championing their cause immediately (if not sooner) send me a written apology of no fewer than 500 words. And maybe a pair of their used panties (I may want to coach the NY Jets someday).

All of you wimmen that thought I was just your average ol' male sexist douchebag (whilst still having shapely buttocks though) oughta be ashamed of yourselves! I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

Wimmens Lib is my life!

In that case you should have asked for a pair of used stockings.

BYU-Idaho has only intramural athletics, however when still as Ricks College they had one of the best JC Football programs in the nation, as well as being the largest JC in the US. As Ricks became BYU-Idaho, the athletics program changed to intramural by result of the LDS Church First Presidency in order to not create a conflict with BYU-Provo Athletics with the 2 being 5 hours apart.
You forgot BYU - Near East on Mt Scopus. I know that their 7 game men's basketball streak was broken back in 93!

I think this thread has pretty much ended.

Congrats to UConn on seting whatever record(s) any individual chooses to recognize.
